Bi-an, what's wrong? You okay?
You..! What's this? Why'd you wet your pants? Why?
What did I tell you?
How are possibly going to beat Jeong-woo? How?
What did I tell you? Repeat after me!
I will beat Jeong-woo! Repeat it!
- I will beat... - Louder!
You must beat Jeong-woo! Say it louder!
I'm so sorry.
You skipped out on the hospital visit to making dumplings with Bi-an?
A married couple should have children naturally when they're good and ready.
I didn't want to use science, particularly when I wasn't ready.
I want to wait until Hyeong-woo is ready.
You don't believe he'll get any better?
Is that why you're so desperate to adopt?
Yes, adoption might not be such a bad idea.
But not Bi-an.
If you really want to adopt, adopt another kid, not Bi-an.
Why not Bi-an?
I want a bright, normal child to be Hyeong-woo's son.
Thought I'd accept a disturbed grandson because my son's special, too?
He wasn't born like that, nor is it as serious as you think.
He's just had some trauma in his life.
That's worse.
I want a healthy child for my son.
It's not even his fault. He met some bad parents, that's all.
That's his fate and his lot in life.
- End of discussion. - But Mother...
Please reconsider.
You understand what he's going through.
You raised Hyeong-woo alone in this house all these years...
because you didn't like him being mistreated for being different.
If you're against the adoption because you want Hyeong-woo's real son,
I understand and I can wait.
But if you're against it because Bi-an is sick...
- I can't understand... - What is...
the point you're trying to make?
The point is...
Bi-an deserves to be loved.
Just like how you love Hyeong-woo.
If everyone were to think like you do...
Hyeong-woo would never be loved.
That's enough. Leave me.
But Mother...
Need I repeat myself? Leave me be.
Okay.
He's asleep now. You can put him down.
Hyeong-woo?
Do something.
He's piggy-backing Bi-an without having changed his clothes.
I see.
No more crying.
No more being scared.
He's not. Thank you.
Let's get you changed first.
Bi-an smells.
You offering to continue carrying him?
Then can you carry him upstairs?
Sure.
Let's get Bi-an changed upstairs.
Okay.
About Bi-an...
What about him?
Did his parents die?
Well, the thing is... they might be dead, I guess.
Or maybe not... Hey, it's your phone.
Hello, ma'am.
- I'm here. - Sit.
Here.
Hwang Jeong-gu. Who's he?
Remember Bi-an? That's his birthfather.
He's not an orphan?
Apparently not.
Yet Eun-young insists on adopting him?
He's a total scumbag. Hit the kid and then abandoned him.
What do you need me to find out?
Everything from his job, criminal record and family situation.
And find out if he's connected in any way to Eun-young.
If he knows her?
I understand how she can pity him, but she's overly attached to him.
Why ask me instead of Mr. Ahn?
I have my reasons.
- Where are you coming from? - The local store.
- Goodbye then. - That kid, Bi-an...
He's a distant relative of yours?
Yup.
How distant?
Pretty distant on my mother's side. Why do you ask?
- Just 'cause. - You must have a reason.
I still think adoption is out of the question for you two.
Like I said, I'm gonna forget the past.
You can try to forget, but you can't erase it.
Am I supposed to jump for joy now that you want to put it all behind us?
I already told you.
I want to live a normal life with Hyeong-woo.
Help me out.
So it doesn't have to be Bi-an, right? It can be any other kid.
Come again?
If you're gonna adopt, you should adopt a baby.
That's for Hyeong-woo and me to decide.
I guess it is.
Go on in.
She turned in early, thanks to you.
Don't disturb her.
Alright. Good night, Shin-woo.
I thought you refused to have a kid so you'd be free to leave anytime.
You trying to adopt is strange is all.
I don't know what to say to make you understand.
I wasn't refusing to have a kid. I was giving your brother some time.
So you're gonna stay married to him?
I'm not saying we'll never fight or never get a divorce.
But no woman gets married with the intent to divorce.
I like your brother very much.
Believe it or not.
The kid's kinda cute.
He won't be a bad nephew.
Thank you.
Don't expect me to help. Mom never listens to me.
That's okay.
Good morning. I came in to wake you.
Drink this.
Thanks.
How are things with Mother?
She's trying her best to hate me.
But you know what a softie she is.
She keeps forgetting that she should despise me.
What do you think about going back to work?
- Like a job? - Yeah.
You could try something new or just work at the dept. store.
No can do. I don't have time to work.
No time? You working on something else?
I'll tell you in the evening.
Is it about...
having a baby?
How did you know?
Ju-young came to see me.
She shouldn't have. I was going to tell you myself.
Didn't we end this matter back in England?
You wanted to try again.
Not anymore. I don't need children.
But I do.
I'm gonna keep trying until it works.
If Ju-young can't help, I'll find a better doctor.
I'm going to do everything I can.
Honey.
I won't bother you, I promise.
Please let me do this.
I don't want you to. Let's not attempt the impossible.
You think that even a child can't save our marriage?
I don't think that.
Good. Then let me have my way.
The soup should be boiling.
Go wash up.
Good morning.
You, too.
Let's go have breakfast.
Eun-young?
I want dumpling soup.
I am very good at making dumplings.
You are? Shall we make some then?
Yay.
His mother does like dumpling soup, but for breakfast?
Just in case, I cooked rice, too.
- Dumpling soup is yummy. - Add the green onions.
- Green onions? - Yes.
Good job.
Hyeong-woo, go on up. Your mother won't like seeing you here...
- Ma'am! - Good morning.
What's going on? This could be dangerous.
I made dumpling soup for you.
He's so good at making dumplings now he kept insisting on making them.
Flour in the morning gives me an upset stomach.
In that case, we also have rice.
Send Hyeong-woo to his room and bring me some tea.
Yes, ma'am.
Go ahead, answer it.
Uh, okay. Sorry about this.
Hello?
I'm working. Bi-an's hospital visit?
Eun-young can't take him?
I'll see what I can do. I'll call you later.
Bye.
I'm at Lady Na Jin-sun's beck and call.
That was my mother-in-law.
Is Bi-an sick?
Physically he isn't.
Kid has way too much on his mind.
It's not too serious.
So he's seeing a psychiatrist?
That's right. He's had a pretty traumatic childhood.
I take it Eun-young usually takes him?
She's obligated to...
as a responsible distant relative.
Plus, she's keen on him like he's her brother.
Brother?
He's too young to be like her brother, right?
He's the grandson of her father's relative.
He's pretty much a near relative.
Pretty distant on my mother's side.
- What did you find? - Hwang Jeong-gu is one messed up guy.
- Has a criminal record? - Yup.
Quite a colorful record, from fraud to assault.
Currently he's on the run from loan sharks.
- Where's he staying? - All over the place, you name it.
He's constantly on the move.
Find him. I need to talk to him.
You want to meet him?
- Yeah. - Who is he?
That's none of your business. Tell me when you find him.
And don't get caught by him.
Will do.
- Here, work on this one. - Okay.
We're gonna get some polish, see?
Then you blow on it and rub it clean.
Wow, you're so good at this.
It'll be so shiny you'll see your reflection.
Yup.
Hyeong-woo, what are you doing?
These are your shoes. So shiny.
You're so good at everything now.
- Welcome. - Hello.
- It's been a while. - It has.
- Hello, Dr. Han. - Hyeong-woo's so well behaved now.
Let's talk inside. Bring us some tea.
Yes, ma'am.
Do this one, too.
He's better each time I see him.
Isn't he? He's really improving.
He deals better with things in general. It's all thanks to you.
You should thank Eun-young, not me.
Actually, seeing his improvement makes me feel a bit incompetent.
Don't think that. You've helped him a great deal.
- Why did you ask me to come? - I need your opinion.
Hyeong-woo's grown attached to a little boy.
He has?
Most likely he likes the kid because his wife does.
- How old is the boy? - Seven.
Eun-young wants to raise him.
You mean adopt him?
Yeah, that's what she wants.
What about you?
He listens to Hyeong-woo and doesn't look down on him.
But children are unpredictable. Hyeong-woo might end up hurt.
Hyeong-woo will probably grow tired of the boy first.
A child wouldn't understand Hyeong-woo the way Eun-young does.
In a single moment, Hyeong-woo will lose interest.
In other words, the child's good effect on Hyeong-woo won't last long.
That's my prediction.
The boy's only seven.
He's too old to treat like a baby, yet too young to understand Hyeong-woo.
Children at seven can be quite bratty.
Kid, don't forget everything I did for you when you're older.
Do you know how much I sacrifice for you?
Nope.
Of course you don't.
Don't think about it. We don't wanna strain your brain.
Let's go.
Off we go.
Excuse me.
- How can I help you? - I'm here for Hwang Bi-an.
Do you know him?
What is this regarding?
I'm curious about his condition.
I'm afraid I can't discuss him with a non-guardian.
What's your relation to Bi-an?
I'm his uncle.
- Hello? - I'm calling from Hanguk Hospital.
Oh, hello. Why'd you call...?
Did something happen to Bi-an?
No, nothing like that. I had a visit from Bi-an's uncle.
He doesn't have an uncle.
He kept asking questions, and he didn't seem to know Bi-an well.
I thought I should tell you.
- So what did you tell him? - Just the name of Bi-an's disorder.
Don't worry. I didn't tell him any details.
I see.
I thought he might be Bi-an's father.
If he is, Bi-an mustn't meet him.
You probably remember from the tests, but Bi-an is terrified of his father.
I understand. Thank you for calling.
Hyeong-woo, it hurts.
Spill it.
You have a favor to ask, right?
I want to live with Bi-an.
Did Eun-young tell you to ask me?
Look at me.
Tell me what you really want, not what Eun-young wants.
Do you like Bi-an?
Yes.
Why do you like him?
Eun-young likes him.
Any other reasons?
I am an adult. I am a father.
I am a teacher.
So you are.
When Bi-an's around, you become an adult, a father and a teacher.
Yes.
I'll be managing Dream In Spa from now. My name is Ju Ae-suk.
What the hell...
It isn't enough to have good water.
A clean appearance, dignified behavior and perfect customer service.
Only when we have all this will Dream In Spa truly be great.
Understand?
Since it's the first day of training, I'll keep things short.
Dismissed.
What a compelling speech.
Yes, absolutely. Good job.
It was just an introduction.
I'm worried about what's to come. They're not even trained properly.
Perhaps so, but they work hard.
Working hard only gets you so far.
Yes, I suppose so. Excuse me, I have work to attend to.
- Sure. - Bye.
- Dad, I'll go with you. - Let's go.
Every word out of your mouth is so sugarcoated.
Look here, Eun-young's mother...
You call me?
- Bi-an! You alright? - Oh no! My coat!
- You hurt anywhere? You okay? - You know how expensive this coat is?
Kid, who are you? Where are your parents?
Can't you see he's hurt? He fell when you pulled on the coat!
- He doesn't look hurt to me. - Excuse you?
Why are you yelling at me?
Wait, I know this kid. He's your grandson, right?
He's... a distant relative.
Watch where you're going, kid.
Look at that, will you? The impertinent thing ignored me!
I'll pay to clean the coat. How much, huh?
Like you can afford it.
Tell his parents to teach him some manners.
Ugh, it's ruined.
That wench...!
He was abused by his father.
As a result, he has depression.
Hello?
- Hey, any news on Hwang Jeong-gu? - I found him.
You did?
No, just keep a close eye on him.
I'll be there. Bye.
- He's inside? - Yes.
Alright, there we go. Good, good.
- Dangnabbit! What rotten luck! - Over there.
Are you Hwang Jeong-gu?
You are, right?
You okay?
I'm fine.
Leggo! Leggo, I tell ya!
- Stay still! - Ugh!
Leggo or I swear I'll...!
Who the hell are you guys? You the fuzz?
We're not the police or loan sharks.
Relax. I just have a few questions.
- You'll be nicely compensated. - I don't know who you are.
But you're awfully rude. You always so rude to strangers?
I'm sorry if you were offended.
Enough of that. Cut to the chase already.
You recognize the name Hwang Bi-an?
I tensed up for nothing.
I don't know no Hwang Bi-an. That answer your question?
There could be loan sharks waiting outside for you.
What's your deal? Why are you asking about Bi-an?
I'll ask the questions. You just give me the answers.
Bi-an is your son, right?
I suppose he is. That's what my family register says.
Let's not talk about that brat.
He brings rotten luck.
Since I adopted him, I went bankrupt and my wife ran away.
He's... adopted?
That's a fact.
From who?
God knows who. My mom brought him one day.
Ah... there's a woman named Na Jin-sun.
She sent us $200 every month.
Na Jin-sun?
I'm at Lady Na Jin-sun's beck and call.
That was my mother-in-law.
Why would she send you money?
Something about her daughter having a baby out of wedlock.
Anyway, that's all I know.
